An indictment resulted after Thomas, along with 27-year-old Nikolas Montgomery of Grayson County, were arrested in Butler County in May. K105 reports both individuals were accused of a burglary on a property off of McKendree Chapel Road, where a theft occurred involving jewelry, a go-cart and other items.

Montgomery is also charged with multiple offenses, including engaging in organized crime, theft by unlawful taking or disposition all others (more than $1,000, less than $10,000), receiving stolen property (more than $1,000, less than $10,000), second-degree burglary and first-degree criminal mischief.

In addition, a four-wheeler was stolen that same day from the 1700 block of Al Embry Road.

Authorities identified the license plate of the truck hauling the four-wheeler, which led them to an address on Bryant Hollow Road. While there, authorities located Montgomery and Thomas, along with the missing items.

Montgomery remains at the Grayson County Detention Center, while Thomas remains at the Butler County Jail. Both are being held on a $50,000 cash bond.
